Click here if you want to review the reading strategies for "Reading Literature" which were presented in Chapter 1 of Siempre Adelante.  

The theme of Chapter 3 in Siempre adelante is Hispanic immigrants in the United States.  The chapter focuses on their experiences here, their efforts to preserve the Hispanic culture, and the nostalgia many immigrants feel for their homelands.  The short story in this chapter, "Raining Backwards," written by the Cuban American author Roberto Fernández, deals with these issues.
